Roadside Shoe Sightings Game - Rules of Engagement
1 Shoe = 1 point
Pair of Shoes = Automatic win (Must be an obviously matching pair)
1 Glove = 5 points
Pair of Gloves = Cancels all prior glove points, unless first sighting, which is 10 points
The success of this car game relies on gentlemanly conduct on the part of all players (even Sarah).
No sniveling or rude debate - absolute honour and mutual respect.
Feel free to play (royalty free!) with your friends, family and colleagues.
Sincerely,
Mikie.

Home from BAM and Vancouver
Hello!
Our record is out as of yesterday! We are stoked for you all to hear it.
We are fresh back from playing in Vancouver and Brooklyn. Both shows were amazing and now we are pursuing other stuff for a few weeks before we hit the road again with all this new music in April. We hope to see you at some of the shows.
About our show in Brooklyn: we have a few “thank you’s” to send out.
Michael Christie and the Brooklyn Philharmonic were amazing. We were honored to be involved, and we grew as a band from the experience. So, thanks. Not only did we enjoy the opportunity to play with you, but to sit so close while you performed material we had the pleasure of selecting was a rare treat.
Also, thank you Nico Muhly for orchestrating our piece “Elephants” for performance with the BP. Your generosity and support did not go unmarked.
Last but not least: what a fantastically adventurous and attentive audience! Thank you too.
Over and out, more to come…

Bell Orchestre On Tour in the Baltics
Some footage that we cut together from stuff that Stef and Pietro shot while we were on tour in the Baltics. Set to the song Water/Light/Shifts from our new record.
Vana Tallinn
An introduction to our tour of the Baltics. Vana Tallinn is the delicious and crazy-making national drink of Estonia. The shots in the pool are from a kids water park in Latvia. We wrote on our rider that we like swimming pools and saunas so we ended up here.
Set to the song The Gaze from our new record.
